I was going to post this last week and forgot about it... I was cleaning one day and singing old songs and while singing this song I realized the lyrics are still very relevant today.

For those that don't listen to music, don't worry, I am not posting music or a music video--just the lyrics to a song.

its a song from Queensryche's "Operation: Mindcrime" album--which I think is one of the greatest albums of all time. The album was released in 1988, yet the lyrics to this one song still feels relevant today--just change the word "communist" in the lyrics for "Muslim" or "Islamic" and you will see what I mean.

Revolution Calling

For a price I'd do about anything
Except pull the trigger
For that I'd need a pretty good cause
Then I heard of Dr. X
The man with the cure
Just watch the television
Yeah, you'll see there's something going on

Got no love for politicians
Or that crazy scene in D.C.
It's just a power mad town
But the time is ripe for changes
There's a growing feeling
That taking a chance on a new kind of vision is due

I used to trust the media
To tell me the truth, tell us the truth
But now I've seen the payoffs
Everywhere I look
Who do you trust when everyone's a crook?

**anyone interested can see their live performance of this song HERE --I went to this concert back then (in a different city)--and it was AMAZING! my poor best friend back then... she had only known their song Silent Lucidity and didn't like Rock/Heavy Metal but I dragged her to the concert anyways LOL!! And to be fair I did go with her to a Whitney Houston concert LOL

**oh, in case anyone is wondering/shaking their heads... I was not Muslim back then...

Eh. I never liked them... I felt that their music was mediocre and so are their lyrics... And truthfully, a band that records a poison-ish song like I dont believe in love and then wants to be taken seriously is just asking for it.

I understand, it was a good album, but nowhere near what people made it out to be, especially Washingtonites, where my mom was from. They acted like QR was Pantera, and they arent even on the same page.
